Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi are reportedly enjoying their life in the English countryside after moving to the UK over a year ago.
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia, have swapped their busy, glamorous lifestyle in Southern California for a quieter life on a 43-acre farm in the Cotswolds.
People in the area say the American couple has settled into country life nicely since moving to their home near Witney, Oxfordshire, last November. They’re often seen socializing with neighbors at the local pub, The Farmer’s Dog.
Okay, so I’ve been keeping tabs, and let me tell you, they *do* come here! They’re total sweethearts, honestly – so down-to-earth and always super polite. And the best part? They bring their dogs! Sometimes it’s just them, enjoying a quiet moment, and other times they’re with friends. It’s just…amazing to see them in person, you know?
They once requested the corner table, likely because it offered more privacy. Although everyone recognizes her, people generally leave her alone.
Ellen DeGeneres, 67, and Portia de Rossi relocated to Kitesbridge Farm in the Cotswolds after Donald Trump was unexpectedly reelected as US president in 2024, and they specifically mentioned his reelection as the main reason for their decision.
Ellen DeGeneres faced significant public criticism after former employees on her talk show alleged she contributed to a negative and harmful work environment.
According to a local, Ellen is genuinely kind and approachable. While it’s a small town where people tend to talk, no one has said anything negative about her.
Another local resident shared with the publication that the couple visited their pub for about an hour last year. They kept to themselves, had a drink, and left quietly—there were no problems or disruptions.
According to TMZ, the couple was deeply disappointed when Trump announced he would run for president again, and they reportedly decided to leave the United States because of it.
According to the report, Ellen DeGeneres was a notable celebrity donor to Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaigns.
She gave the legal maximum of $3,300 to the Democratic candidate who didn’t win the election. However, it’s common for wealthy individuals to bypass these donation limits by contributing larger sums to political action committees and super PACs instead.
The TV star’s reputation suffered after claims surfaced about a negative and harmful work environment on her talk show, which ended on May 26, 2022.
In her Netflix stand-up special, ‘For Your Approval,’ released in late September, she talked about being publicly ostracized and the challenges that came with it.
In her comedy special, the comedian made a joke about being forced out of the entertainment industry, and talked about what she’s been doing since her TV show ended.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were in the UK when the election results came in, and Ellen said her friends were upset – they all sent her crying emojis, she shared later.
The farm boasts impressive features like a large kitchen, custom-made wooden furniture, walk-in closets, bathrooms with marble finishes, a two-bedroom guest house, an indoor pool, a helipad, and a five-car garage built within a renovated barn.
She told Richard Bacon at a July event in Cheltenham that they weren’t accustomed to witnessing such beauty.
Everything here – the towns, villages, and buildings – is delightful, and life feels much more relaxed. I absolutely love it.
I was shocked to learn that Kitesbridge was up for sale again so soon after it was purchased! What’s even more surprising is the price jump – it’s gone from £15 million to a staggering £22.5 million. Apparently, a large part of that increase is to cover the extensive renovations she undertook. It seems she really put a lot of work – and money – into the place!
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have moved to a newly built home that their real estate agent said resembled a Malibu beach house.
She announced in July that they’ve decided to sell their current house because they’re looking for a new one.
‘So if anyone wants a house, it’s a beautiful stone farmhouse.’
